Assignment:
Discuss different approaches to productivity, problem-solving and so forth including communication barriers and challenges that diversity will present to the organization.
Brief description of the entire assignment:
Due to future trends in population growth, it will be more important than ever for organizations to prepare for the challenges and opportunities presented by diversity. The Learning Team diversity action plan will consist of a 2,800- to 3,500-word report and 20-minute presentation. Online students develop a PowerPoint presentation with notes designed to assist your organization or work group to prepare for these trends. The following are items that should be considered in the diversity action plan:
o In addition to using 1 reference from course materials and at least two outside sources, the presentation and report should summarize trends in population growth and diversity.
o Include a description of the selected organization or workgroup. Is it a transnational corporation? Does-or will-the workgroup have contact with international vendors? Without this information, it will be difficult to speculate how the trends identified previously will affect your organization. We have already addressed this, we just need to make it more formal and begin the report with this information.
o In preparing the diversity action plan, address the following and write at least a 700 word report format on their section..
- Cultural norms of new groups with whom the organization will come into contact
- Opportunities- Discuss different approaches to productivity, problem-solving and so forth including communication barriers and challenges that diversity will present to the organization.
- How will the organization prepare the workforce to maximize the benefits of diversity and minimize the challenges?
- Use one reference from course materials and at least two outside sources that provide relevant information and/or data that justify the approach of your action plan.
- Prepare an outline of the report component of the diversity action plan. This outline should include a summary of secondary sources that will be used in the final written report and presentation.
